The Paradox of Third-wave Democratization in Africa - The Gambia Under Afprc-aprc Rule, 1994-2008

Informationen zum Autor By Abdoulaye Saine Klappentext This book is concerned primarily with political and economic events in Africa and The Gambia, especially between the 1994 coup d'etat and 2008. Significantly, it proffers policy recommendations to position this small but potentially rich country to leverage economic globalization to benefit the poor. Readily comprehensible to specialists and laypersons alike, this book is written by a scholar who has gained considerable respect, both in The Gambia and internationally, for his dispassionate analysis of events unfolding in his country of birth.
